by Mark Hamby

We who preach and write, do so in a manner different from which the Scriptures have been written. We write while we make progress. We learn something new every day. We speak as we still knock for understanding...If anyone criticizes me when I have said what is right, he does me an injustice. But I would be more angry with the one who praises me and takes what I have written for Gospel truth than I would be with the one who criticizes me unfairly. -Augustine

One of my favorite chapters in the Bible is Romans 4. In particular I love this section: Talking about Abraham and his faith, Paul writes, “In hope be believed against hope…fully convinced that God was able to do what he promised.” This is the essence of faith.
